The AMD display driver and the AMD Catalyst Control Center / AMD Vision
Engine Control Center can be downloaded independently of each other.
However, for stability and performance AMD recommends that both components
be updated from the same AMD Catalyst release.

The AMD Catalyst Control Center / AMD Vision Engine Control Center
requires that the Microsoft .NET Framework SP1 be installed for Windows XP
and Windows Vista. Without .NET SP1 installed, the AMD Catalyst Control
Center / AMD Vision Engine Control Center will not launch properly and the
user will see an error message.

Notes:

When installing the AMD Catalyst driver for Windows operating system,
the user must be logged on as Administrator or have Administrator rights to
complete the installation of the AMD Catalyst driver.

The Catalyst driver requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed.

AMD Eyefinity technology gives gamers access to high display
resolutions. As pixel count grows, the graphics horsepower required to drive
the displays at a reasonable frame rate can increase dramatically. Depending
on the game and system configuration, users may notice texture corruption
and reduced frame rates when running games in multi-monitor Eyefinity modes.

Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD
Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded
independently through the AMD website.

AMD Mobility Product Family Compatibility

AMD Catalyst Mobility is a notebook reference graphics driver with limited
support for system vendor specific features. When used with Windows Vista or
Windows 7, users may have unwanted experiences.

The Installation Verification Software is designed to prevent driver download
on certain notebook products. This is to protect against the installing of
drivers that may disable features or functionality provided by the system
manufacturer. If unwanted experiences occur while using AMD Catalyst Mobility,
it is recommended to revert back to the driver provided by your system vendor
for your specific platform. Please contact your system vendor for the most
recent drivers for your notebook.
